Then I nearly would die for a another copy of his tie - truly a cool guy.

@@emileponcelet3439 That may be true to the extent one's subconscious can be primed by the experience, but interest aids in retention, and retention aids in understanding. Time is limited by metabolic processes, so it would be wiser to apply one's attention to garnering knowledge of one's interests, if given the choice. So is it possible to 'waste' one's time on 'education'? I say yes, but perhaps with a caveat that one has an 'interest' in the first place. 'Education' is an interesting subject to ponder.

08:40 "Plutonium is a fascinating metal." That's an understatement! What a shame that Pu is so dangerous. Among its strange behaviors is that some of its alloys -- e.g. Pu + rare earths -- partially remelt upon cooling (via inverse peritectic reactions). After further cooling,of course, those alloys become completely solid.

There are quite a few (100+) people in the USA fitted with cardiac pacemakers powered by about 2.5Ci of Pu238. This gives off about 80 mW of heat sufficient to power the device for a long time (half-life is 88 years). When the patient eventually dies, the device is recovered and reconditioned for another person who needs one. One man was offered a battery-powered replacement but he refused as it would require minor surgery once a year, and he preferred his plutonium one!

He was very poorly and in a wheelchair, a double amputee, and wasn't up to recognising old students. Lovely man!

Oh, certainly. I read the plutonium book referenced early in this video (owned it since before this video was uploaded). It's made quite clear that scientists dealing with radioactive materials were thoroughly cavalier, even though they definitely had a grasp of the hazards. The ones who were careful simply had a higher incidence of cancer later in life. The ones who were not... well, you only have to watch a documentary about the lives of the workers at Chernobyl to understand how things went for them. You don't immediately die but you suffer a manifest degradation of livelihood. Like getting older decades ahead of schedule, with all the attendant symptoms like heart failure. People who undergo chemotherapy can relate.

There was concern that the somewhat elevated levels of americium (Am) found after the Cerro Grande fire (May 2000) might have been related to activities at the Lab. However, it was later shown that the Am found was due to fire detectors (they contain Am) that were burned in the 400 homes that were destroyed.

Sellafield used to be known by a more infamous name - Windscale. In the late 50s it was the site of the UK's worst nuclear accident when one of the nuclear piles they were using to manufacture fuel for nuclear weapons caught fire. It burned for several days, releasing large amounts of radiation into the outside environment.

As a retired expert in Plutonium I can say the information that Plutonium as being man-made is incorrect. It was discovered in southern Africa that a small natural "reactor" made a small amount of plutonium naturally. Pitchblende, a natural mineral that contains Uranium, emits neutrons through the fission process and the neutrons emitted also make trace amounts of plutonium in the mineral so every natural sample that contains uranium can also make small amounts of Plutonium . Therefore Pu, should be listed as a natural element... Steve Miller retired Scientist

what's also incorrect is that the video states that metallic Plutonium is radioactively toxic because it's an alpha emitter. Human skin will block alpha particles quite readily. What's actually the toxin danger is Plutonium oxides and salts, which are similar to but more toxic than other heavy metal oxides and salts, say lead or mercury salts. And even those you don't want to get on your skin, let alone ingest.
@jwenting
4 жыл бұрын
@Carpet Hooligan the amount of Pu in pitchblende is very small. Pu does exist in nature but the amounts are extremely small as it's there as a fission product rather than pristine ore deposits. THOSE have long since fissioned away because of the far shorter half life of Pu as compared to Uranium.
@salmonkill7

@Carpet Hooligan yes and no. the distinction between natural and man made is debated. Some in the scientific community think if some atoms are found on Earth then its natural. Others put a natural abundance limit on natural elements but two natural elements on the Periodic chart are very rare also. In my opinion if its found naturally in any amount it's a natural element...

"The radioactive waste from spent fuel rods consist primarily of cesium-137 and strontium-90, but it may also include plutonium, which can be considered a transuranic waste. The half-lives of these radioactive elements can differ quite extremely." - Wikipedia "Transuranic" (of an element) having a higher atomic number than uranium (92).
